Preparing System

Approx 4 Minutes

Caution

• DO NOT take out ink cartridges if you do not

need to replace them. If you do so, it may

reduce the ink quantity and the machine will

not know the quantity of ink left in the

cartridge.

• DO NOT shake the ink cartridges. If ink stains

your skin or clothing, wash with soap or

detergent at once.

• DO NOT repeatedly insert and remove the

cartridges. If you do so, ink may seep out of the

cartridge.

• If you mix the colours by installing an ink

cartridge in the wrong position, clean the print

head several times after correcting the

cartridge installation. (See Cleaning the print

head in Appendix B of the User’s Guide.)

• Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in the

machine and use it up within six months of

installation. Use unopened ink cartridges by

the expiration date written on the cartridge

package.

• DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the ink

cartridge, this can cause the ink to leak out of

the cartridge.

• Brother multifunction machines are designed

to work with ink of a particular specification

and will work to a level of optimum

performance when used with genuine Brother

branded ink cartridges.

Brother cannot guarantee this optimum

performance if ink or ink cartridges of other

specifications are used. Brother does not

therefore recommend the use of cartridges

other than genuine Brother branded cartridges

with this machine or the refilling of empty

cartridges with ink from other sources. If

damage is caused to the print head or other

parts of this machine as a result of using

incompatible products with this machine, any

repairs required as a result may not be covered

by the warranty.

point (router). After the machine is configured to communicate with your access point (router) computers on your

network will have access to the machine. To use the machine from these computers, you will need to install the

MFL-Pro Suite. The following steps will guide you through the configuration and installation process.

To achieve optimum results with normal every day document printing, place the Brother machine as close to the

network access point (router) as possible with minimal obstructions. Large objects and walls between the two

devices as well as interference from other electronic devices can affect the data transfer speed of your documents.

Important

The following instructions will offer two methods for installing your Brother machine in a wireless

network environment. Both methods are for infrastructure mode, using a wireless router or access

point that uses DHCP to assign IP addresses. If your wireless router/access point supports

SecureEasySetup™ follow the steps on page 23 Using the SecureEasySetup™ software to configure

your machine for a wireless network. If your wireless router/access point does not support

SecureEasySetup™ follow the steps on page 25 Using the Setup Wizard from the control panel LAN

menu for wireless network configuration. To set up your machine in any other wireless environment

you can find instructions in the Network User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.

You can view the Network User’s Guide by following the instructions below.

1 Turn on your PC. Insert the Brother CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.

2 If the model name screen appears, click your model name.

3 If the language screen appears, click your language. The CD-ROM main menu will appear.

The SecureEasySetup™ software allows you to

configure the wireless network easier than

configuring it manually. By pushing a button on the

or access point does not support SecureEasySetup™

go to page 25 for installation instructions.

Note

Routers or access points that support

SecureEasySetup™ have the

SecureEasySetup™ symbol as shown below.

1 Turn on the machine by connecting the power
